oh wait, we wont use the n word, right? just sexist terminology on du.

At Thu Jan 26, 2012, 11:53 AM you sent an alert on the following post:



REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

The poster could have used many different words to describe Brewer, but he choose an offensive, sexist term.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Jan 26, 2012, 12:04 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with the alerter. Even with astricks, it's obvious what word the OP meant. He could have chosen another adjective to describe Brewer instead of a sexist one.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with the person who sent the alert. A different choice of words would have been better.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Everyone could benefit from gaining a few more vocabulary words. I would love to be able to read all of the threads on DU with my grandchildren looking over my shoulder. I can't do that now.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Thank you.
